Bernalillo County launches tax bill guide

Bernalillo County property owners can now use new online resources to examine the components of their upcoming 2026 tax bills. The Treasurer’s Office released these tools today to help residents understand how their specific charges are calculated.

The initiative, titled Know Your Tax Bill, complements the existing Know Your Value campaign run by the Assessor’s Office. While the Assessor’s program explains how property values are determined, the new Treasurer’s resource breaks down the various line items on a final tax statement.

Tim Eichenberg, the Bernalillo County Treasurer, stated that multiple variables influence tax bill calculations. He said the office aims to ensure constituents understand the math behind their bills rather than simply paying the total amount owed.

The new materials include a video and an interactive PDF that walk users through a sample tax bill. Owners can click or hover over numbered sections within the PDF to view specific explanations for each charge.

Residents with questions about their individual bills can contact the Treasurer’s Office by phone at 505-468-7031 or by email at Treasurers@bernco.gov.

The county government serves more than 676,000 residents across Albuquerque, Los Ranchos, Tijeras, and unincorporated areas. It operates with an annual budget exceeding $1 billion and employs approximately 2,500 staff members.
